KMBS has a fleet of 300 modern low floor A/c and Non A/c buses that serve a large part of the sprawling city.

There are also less number of AC City buses as to what is the requirement in the city. The main reason for this is because the routes selected by KCTSL are not up to the mark and it will never get adequate passengers in the city bus until it operates the city buses on correct routes.Apart from that there should be advertisements on AC Buses and solar panels on top to generate electricity for AC and digital presentation of routes which can generate income for KCTSL. Here are the most busy routes on which city buses should ply:-
